I cant believe this program is dieing, Its the only tool on the web that i could find that cuts LAME encoded mp3s accuratly and gaplessly. Its a hidden gem really, people would pay for this. I would it if it had a gui and the bugs were worked out.

Simply because its one of a kind. I cant believe its left half complete.

madness.

Considering by the looks of it, its been around years. I only found this last month.

Hello.I recently had to use pcutmp3. This is a wonderful program, seems to be the only one on the web to achieve true gapeless cuting. Unfortunately, the mp3 was 48Khz and I bumped into the same bug some of you entountered.

I made a quick fix to pcutmp3, thanks for putting in on google code.

Anyway, here is my patch: (I also corrected the leading 0 in track number)

The split points are all in the right places now, but there seems to be an issue with the original file's Gapless information.My original had no delay at the beginning of the track, but it looks like a 576 sample delay (LAME's default) is added after a split.

So the file is split perfectly, but the length is changed. I'm going to experiment a bit and see what else i can find.

I am in need of a tool that can split mp3 files using cue sheets on Mac so I came across pcutmp3.

Megar, I tried your version and it worked just fine. However, gapless playback is not 100% accurate. When I import the mp3 files I created with pcutmp3 into iTunes, some of them sound gapless and others have a slight hick-up. Tiny but it's there and noticeable for techno / house mixes.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem? I already tried enabling the gapless playback setting for each file in iTunes without success.

Anyway if it's iTunes not following the standards it wouldn't surprise me. I tried several apps including your build of pcutmp3 but with each try, iTunes does not seem to be handling the gapless playback like it should. The results differ and pcutmp3 does seem to be doing the best job but still some tracks have a hick-up.

iTunes works great for me on Mac but I guess I should keep mix cd's a single file like I download them, too bad for Last.fm

Well, I can try to help. If you send me two or three mp3 cutted bu pcutmp3, I can try to rebuild mp3 stream / fix vbr header, then send them back to you. So we will have a clue. In that case, it would means that pcutmp3 does not produce completely good mp3. But I think it's unlikely, because it re-write a (I think) correct mp3 vbr header. You can upload the files on a public upload site and send me the link (by Private Message).

Since I got no answer from the author, I decided to fork the project on my Bitbucket account.It is here : https://bitbucket.org/gbouthenot/pcutmp3/I do not claim being the original author. I would remove it if the authors ask me to. It's New BSD Licence, so it should be legal, though.

The webpage provides a download link for the compiled jar (Megar Build 3), So I will remove Build 2 from here.
